Unfolding the Social Self
This module focuses on the social aspects of the self. As social beings, individuals interact with others and relate themselves to other people. Social institutions and environments significantly contribute to one’s identity and self-development. Among millennials learners, technology and the internet have significantly influenced their social environments and, consequently, their sense of self. In this module, the cultural, digital, and economic aspects of one’s life and how they influence a person’s social self will be put to light. This module aims to provide learners with a deeper understanding of themselves through a socio-cultural perspective.
This module helped me realize how socialization is important to oneself. I noticed that I am more being open to my family and often socialize with my friends. I am also weighing now what are my wants and needs to know what I should prioritize.
